"My daughter is too far gone; she'll never come back to God or our family."
How it sounds in your head: She's made so many bad choices already. I see her posts online and I barely recognize her anymore. She's running with the wrong crowd and won't even talk to me. I feel like I've lost her forever and there's nothing I can do but watch her destroy her life.
"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you."
-- Joel 2:25Enemy tactic to make parents give up intercession and agreement, breaking the spiritual covering over the child.
The visible evidence—her choices, her friends, her attitude—seems to contradict any possibility of return. The longer she's gone, the more permanent it feels, and the enemy magnifies every rebellious post and bad decision.
Manasseh sacrificed his own children to demons, filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, practiced witchcraft, and led an entire nation into abomination for 55 years. When he finally cried out from Babylonian prison, God INSTANTLY heard him, brought him back to Jerusalem, and restored his kingdom.
I REFUSE the lie that my daughter is beyond redemption. IT IS WRITTEN that God restores the years the locusts have eaten—not some years, ALL years. She is covered by the BARAK blessing of Abraham that protected liars, deceivers, and rebels. IT IS WRITTEN in Luke 15 that the Father ran to the prodigal while he was STILL FAR OFF. My agreement RIGHT NOW creates a force field of grace around her that no darkness can penetrate. The blood of Jesus speaks BETTER THINGS than all her bad choices, and I declare her SUDDEN RETURN and COMPLETE RESTORATION!
The Father has been running toward your daughter since before she took her first rebellious step. He's positioning people, orchestrating divine collisions, and speaking to her in dreams—and the moment she even THINKS about turning, she'll find Him already there with the robe, ring, and sandals ready.
